  • Magnets on ends of terminal leads are an amazing feature
I bought this Supco M500 tester to validate the motor on our sander. I was blown away by the portability, compactness, and the magnets on the ends of the leads. I also bought a competing unit with higher voltage and a display to tell me actual values, but I am very conflicted because the thought that went into this Supco unit is so great. In terms of a unit that is quick, easy to use, this Supco device wins, hands down. I could see the shorter leads being an issue eventually, but they're that short because they fold up in the back of the unit. I can't stress enough how convenient the magnets on the end of the aligator clips are. I can pop them onto screw terminals and very quickly test through a bunch of circuits without having to hold my fingers in the danger zone or question whether I slipped and caused an incorrect reading. ... show more

  • Reliable, Accurate, and Built for the Job Reliable, Accurate, and Built for the Job
As a technician, having a dependable megohmmeter is a must — and this one delivers. Right out of the box, the build feels solid, with a rugged, rubberized housing that gives confidence it can handle the field. I’ve used it for testing motors, compressors, and insulation on wiring, and the readings are consistent and accurate every time. The display is bright and easy to read, even outdoors. I also appreciate the auto-discharge feature after testing — a safety must. The leads are quality too, with strong alligator clips that hold securely during testing. ... show more

  • Really quick to use show customer in a manner they can understand that they're compressor is bad

  • Excellent value for money
Excellent value for money. I work in commercial industrial A/C and megging out motors is something I do on a regular basis. This thing is fairly accurate, I've tested it alongside a $1500 AEMC unit and it worked just fine. I wouldn't recommend it on stuff much bigger than 25hp. It's simply not precise enough to keep a trending log. However for small compressors, blower motors, etc, it works great. It's also good for testing wiring inside units for those "intermittent" electrical issues we love to run across. Downside, the leads are far too short. ... show more

  • Cheap, reliable and simple. Love it.
I've been using these at work and love them. Light weight, simple to use and reliable. This will not get down to the finer details of measuring resistance readings but will tell you where the weak spots are in a circuit. The lower cutoff point on this meter's scale is 20 Megaohms, well above levels I have seen circuits operating without tripping overloads or breakers. All of the problem circuits I've diagnosed with my expensive Fluke megger have shown less than 1 Megaohm from conductor to ground. I still love this meter, though, because it is so light and compact. I also like that I can attach the alligator clips and leave one hand free to wiggle wires in the conduit on intermittent problems while I press the test button with the other. I have thus far not misdiagnosed a motor with this meter but I usually go get my Fluke 1507 if I am in doubt. You will love this megger. ... show more
